Here's the thing Hatter, and this is why it is a story:
We didn't get the players that were demoted. It did not and was not going to happen, because: 1) Prince gives all players the choice to come to represent their team and their university through the media at Tuesday's news conference. When they get demoted --or in some cases promoted-- they don't show up. 2) After Tuesday night's practice, many of the one's who don't show earlier in the day are requested again, and still choose not to come. It's easy to show up when you're a winner...not so much when the roles reveresed. Guess who was there on Tuesday night. Freeman? Yep. Patton? Yep. There's no reason to talk to their parents when the players are right there. If T-Gunn or Spex would have come, I guarentee you they would have been quoted by every newspaper today.
As much as some like to believe --not pointing specifically at you, Hatter-- Jeffrey Martin has no agenda or axe to grind with Ron Prince. We all poke fun at RP. We enjoy his Prince-isms and so forth, and question things he does. However, it's not going to make or break any of us whether he goes on to win 10 games this year or gets fired. Our paycheck is mailed for the same amount either way. We just watch what goes on around us and write about it. Simple job, really...Though not as simple as some think.
